For example, Wine does not build on -STABLE since earlier last week due to a problematic change to the ncurses library back then. > "unable to start DDE communication with Program Manager" Can you test the same with a UP kernel or a Linux box? First of all we should try to find whether this is 1. a Wine specific problem; 2. a FreeBSD specific problem; or 3. a FreeBSD SMP specific problem Currently the Wine port is undergoing major updates (It hadn't been updated for about half a year) and there are some problems, but I hope to have everything in a stable state by the end of the week, or so. My feeling, however, indicates that the problem you are experiencing might fall in category 1 above, in which case I suggest you contact the Wine authors directly (http://www.winehq.com/).
